If you don't already use Dropbox, you should!
I’ll admit it’s a selfish motive, (extra free storage for referrals) but I’m not kidding when I say Dropbox is a must have service on any PC/Mac, and even iPhone and Android. And it’s FREE starting at 2 GB up to 8 GB if you can refer 32 people.
For every friend who joins Dropbox, we’ll give you both 250 MB of bonus space (up to a limit of 8 GB)!
A new killer feature for anyone who uses 1Password on both their Mac/PC and iPhone. You can use Dropbox to automatically sync 1Password with all your devices and keep your passwords backed-up encrypted in the cloud. I’ve been using this feature for a few weeks now and love it.
I also use Dropbox to sync my desktop wallpaper collection, Safari bookmarks, and work web design files, between my Mac and PC.
Cheap External RAID Options
I did some shopping around this week for more storage for work. The idea is to have a mirrored RAID so all my design files are secure, so long as the enclosure and both drives aren’t destroyed at the same time. Here’s the best pricing I found.
Enclosure ($104.99) + 500GB SATA drive $59.95 (2x $119.90) = $224.89
Enclosure ($104.99) + 750GB SATA drive $69.99 (2x $139.98) = $252.29
Enclosure ($104.99) + 1TB SATA drive $79.99 (2x $159.98) = $264.97
My boss ordered the 1TB drives. Yay!
UPDATE: Opps picked the wrong enclosure for RAID 1. This is the enclosure needed. Not sure how I missed that. It’s about $40 more for this enclosure.
